Nadda Challenges Gandhis: Economics Lessons Amid Poll Rhetoric

BJP leader J P Nadda criticized Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi for lacking a positive economic perspective and discussed the BJP's economic policies ahead of Maharashtra assembly polls. He highlighted India's growth, vehicle purchases in rural areas, and criticized Congress's stance on unemployment and inflation.

In a fresh salvo aimed at Congress leaders, BJP president J P Nadda on Wednesday questioned the economic understanding of Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi, offering to teach them the discipline ahead of the Maharashtra assembly polls on November 20.

Addressing media professionals, Nadda juxtaposed his party's developmental agenda against Rahul's 'shop of love' campaign, which he argues promotes division. Highlighting a growth rate of 6.8%, Nadda underscored India's prowess as the world's third-largest automobile market, criticizing Congress's focus on unemployment and inflation.

Nadda accused the Congress of allying with 'urban Naxals' and criticized Uddhav Thackeray for diluting Shiv Sena's ideological stance by aligning with Congress. He defended BJP's policy on caste census while emphasizing Modi's OBC identity, ahead of pivotal state elections.
